Publication number: 20100238349Abstract: A format of an inputted video signal is estimated to be based on the total number of vertical lines, and a frequency dividing ratio of a PLL unit is provisionally set at a predetermined value corresponding to the estimated format. Next, the frequency dividing ratio is calculated so that a measured value of a horizontal display width that is measured by a video detecting unit matches a capture width which is the horizontal display width capturable by a frame memory, and the calculated frequency dividing ratio is converted to a multiple of 4. A phase adjustment of the regenerative dot clock is performed against the video signal based on the converted frequency dividing ratio by using the regenerative dot clock generated by the PLL unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2008Publication date: September 23, 2010Applicant: NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS, LTD.Inventor: Tatsuo Kimura

Patent number: 7315400Abstract: An image processing apparatus having a simple structure capable of forming high quality images. The image processing apparatus includes a document reader for generating a first luminance signal for each pixel in a color multi-valued image; a factor multiplication part for multiplying the first luminance signal by a factor to obtain a second luminance signal; a pixel-attribute determination part for determining the color attribute of a noticed pixel based on the second luminance signal; and a main controller. The main controller is configured to count an array attribute determined by an array of the color attributes for 32 lines in a block obtained by dividing a band including 64 lines in the color multi-valued image into eight in the main scanning direction, calculate image-characteristic parameters for the block based on the counted values, determine a block image attribute from the counted values and the calculated parameters, and determine the image attribute of the band based on the determination result.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2004Date of Patent: January 1, 2008Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hidetsugu Kagawa, Tatsuo Kimura

Publication number: 20070103709Abstract: An existing printer arranged to print data from a PC (personal computer) is used as the printer unit of a facsimile apparatus. The PC uses a printer driver dedicated to an existing printer (capable of performing the same processing as the printer unit of the facsimile apparatus) as a module, serving as application software for a facsimile-apparatus control unit, for printing the data from the PC. When printing data from the PC, a command uniquely directed to the facsimile apparatus is added to the printing data generated by the PC's printer driver, and the resultant data is transmitted to the facsimile apparatus. Upon receipt of the transmitted data, the facsimile apparatus removes the added command, thus restoring the printing data generated by the printer driver, and transmits the restored data to the printer unit to perform printing.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2006Publication date: May 10, 2007Applicant: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takashi Ono, Yasuyuki Shinada, Tatsuo Kimura, Yukio Nohata, Takashi Imai
